Description Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in .NET 6.0, .NET 7.0 and .NET 8.0. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to address this vulnerability.

A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework-based applications use X.509 chain building APIs but do not completely validate the X.509 certificate due to a logic flaw. An attacker could present an arbitrary untrusted certificate with malformed signatures, triggering a bug in the framework. The framework will correctly report that X.509 chain building failed, but it will return an incorrect reason code for the failure. Applications which utilize this reason code to make their own chain building trust decisions may inadvertently treat this scenario as a successful chain build. This could allow an adversary to subvert the app's typical authentication logic.

Affected software NuGet & NuGet Packages - Any NuGet.exe, NuGet.CommandLine, NuGet.Packaging 6.8.0 version or earlier. - Any NuGet.exe, NuGet.CommandLine, NuGet.Packaging 6.7.0 version or earlier. - Any NuGet.exe, NuGet.CommandLine, NuGet.Packaging 6.6.1 version or earlier. - Any NuGet.exe, NuGet.CommandLine, NuGet.Packaging 6.4.2 version or earlier. - Any NuGet.exe, NuGet.CommandLine, NuGet.Packaging 6.3.3 version or earlier. - Any NuGet.exe, NuGet.CommandLine, NuGet.Packaging 6.0.5 version or earlier. - Any NuGet.exe, NuGet.CommandLine, NuGet.Packaging 5.11.5 version or earlier.

.NET Framework Denial of Service Vulnerability

.NET Core & .NET Framework Denial of Service Vulnerability

ASP.NET Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

.NET Framework Information Disclosure Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in .NET Framework, Microsoft SharePoint, and Visual Studio when the software fails to check the source markup of XML file input, aka '.NET Framework, SharePoint Server, and Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability'.

A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Microsoft .NET Framework fails to validate input properly, aka ".NET Framework Remote Code Injection Vulnerability." This affects Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2/4.7/4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7/4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.6.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.6.2/4.7/4.7.1/4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in .NET Framework which could allow an attacker to elevate their privilege level, aka ".NET Framework Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability." This affects Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2/4.7/4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7/4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.6.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.6.2/4.7/4.7.1/4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2.

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2 and 4.7 allow an attacker to execute code remotely via a malicious document or application, aka ".NET Framework Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."

VsaVb7rt.dll in Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5.1 does not implement the ASLR protection mechanism, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site, as exploited in the wild in February 2014, aka "VSAVB7RT ASLR Vulnerability."

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 SP3, 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1 does not properly determine whether it is safe to execute a method, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted web site or (2) a crafted .NET Framework application that exposes a COM server endpoint, aka "Type Traversal Vulnerability."

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1 does not properly determine TCP connection states, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ASP.NET daemon hang) via crafted HTTP requests that trigger persistent resource consumption for a (1) stale or (2) closed connection, as exploited in the wild in February 2014, aka "POST Request DoS Vulnerability."

The .NET Remoting implementation in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1 does not properly restrict memory access, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving malformed objects, aka "TypeFilterLevel Vulnerability."

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when ASP.NET or .NET web applications running on IIS improperly allow access to cached files, aka 'ASP.NET and .NET Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework processes input, aka '.NET Framework Remote Code Execution Vulnerability'.

<p>An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the .NET Framework improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could disclose contents of an affected system's memory.</p> <p>To exploit the vulnerability, an authenticated attacker would need to run a specially crafted application.</p> <p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the .NET Framework handles objects in memory.</p>

The Windows Forms (aka WinForms) libraries in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, 4.5, 4.5.1, and 4.5.2 allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted partial-trust application, aka "Windows Forms Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."
